IVY Classic Ripping Claw Jacketed Fiberglass Hammers feature vibration cushioning which allows for the vibration from the hammer to be absorbed through the shaft into the co-molded contoured rubber handle. The jacketed fiberglass provides overstrike protection by reducing shaft wear-and tear and preventing handle breakage. Fully polished, these hammers are made up of a drop-forged head with an octagonal neck. Ideal applications for this ripping claw include driving and pulling nails, prying boards, demolition work, splitting lumber and more. IVY Classic Industries is dedicated to producing a comprehensive, quality line of power tool accessories and hand tools.
